Your line of inquiry really makes little sense. What do you expect I would learn from 'using' LN that I don't know already?

I mean, I'll grant that LN 'works' in the default case. Of course, there is nothing that I find useful that I could do with it. What am I going to do - draw another penis on some stupid crowdsourced image? What a waste of time. AintNobodyGotTimeForThat.png.

Incidentally, your carrot analogy is stupid. Somehow, I expected better from you.

I left Germany in 2016, I think Bitwala stopped working after I left. After I had my landlord start accepting BTC directly the only thing I used Bitwala for was paying my many speeding tickets.


It was...sorta. After I used it for getting cash to buy a car I started selling BTC on localbitcoins. Then Germany "banned" it. What actually happened was that they blocked people connecting from German IP addresses. And they locked all of the German listings so you could no longer create new ads or edit your old ones.

What this ended up doing was it created a monopoly for me in my area at a high rate of return. While there was competition in the US driving down rates close to a few percent, I had a few ads going from 10% to 15% per trade. I actually only wanted to get a little spending money and spread the word of BTC but having such a monopoly and high rate of return I continued selling, immediately putting the money back into bitcoins after the trade. The Germans knew how to use VPNs.



For Amazon I use purse.io for the discount (I had an APO address in Germany, but there was also a way to get stuff at 15% discount on amazon.de).

For gift cards there is gyft.com and egifter.com. I prefer egifter because you can get your gift card very close to the dollar amount you are spending.
They have 100s of retailers from most chain restaurants to most chain clothing stores.

thanks for that it is actually me messing about waiting for the price to explode and having a pop at roach

There's an ignore button next to his/her name that's been clicked more times than google.com and also on anyone that quotes him/her

This is nice. I will check it out.

Is Bitwala still working? After the great debit card purge, I'm not sure it's so easy anymore. Waiting eagerly for new arrangements to regrow a pool of bitcoin card operators.

I think localbitcoins is banned in Germany.

Are you referring to Amazon here? What is in your experience/opinion the best way to get gift cards via btc?

I don't see exchanges, devs and users complaining how flawed Segwit it, nobody lost money ore saw critical errors.  I only see that bullshit in the Bcash camp.

Can you provide me technical arguments/proof why Segwit is 'flawed' ore show it at the Github?

All those devs are interested in youre arguments.


Trying to convince me that you did your homework while you dont even looked at Segwit features..

(Bcash) shit noob.

for me momently i save my new capital/incomes/gaines in BTC and play poker for BTC thats allready a start food and other things are for later

Most peoples' taxes are taken out of their paycheck. With BitWage you can get your paycheck direct deposited to a bitcoin address without your company ever knowing you are getting paid in bitcoin.

In Europe I was able to pay bills, rent (until I talked my landlord into taking BTC directly), etc. with bitwala. Not sure if there is a similar service in the US but a quick google search gives welto.io, coinbills.com and coinsfer.com.

Buy houses? Something done how often? Every 5 years maybe?

Buy a used car with bitcoin or go to the very few auto dealers in the US that accept BTC (again, what...every 5 years? are you holding fiat so you can buy a car?). When I wanted a car in Germany I went to a localbitcoins guy and got the cash to pay for the car.

Groceries? Whole Foods, Walmart, Target(do they have groceries?).

Gas? Walmart. Restaurant? Buffalo Wild Wings.

Everything else? Amazon.

I just know the couple of times I visited the US since converting to bitcoin it was sooooo easy.

Or are you waiting to only use bitcoin when the store you go to has a QR code? Or perhaps they need to make it easier?

Trust me, when you only have bitcoin to spend. You'll find ways to pay for just about everything. (Oh nos! I have to buy a gift card! That's not bitcoin! It allows you to have bitcoin as your main currency and not rely on banks or holding fiat that loses value over time, take the 3% discount through gift cards already).

Quoting doesn't help, either. It's just like spreading more dog food in the garden. First come dogs, then roaches.

No way we fluctuate in a 1k range for 9 months. We're either going to flash crash below 6k soon then begin a slow trek up or begin that slow trek right now until the impetus for the next bull run.

Evil Jewish plagiarist Einstein said "racism is a disease of white people", yet new memoirs reveal Einstein hated Chinese people and also signed on to the Hooton plan to exterminate white Europeans (not to be confused with the Kalergi plan, another Jewish plan to exterminate white Europeans):

I assumed you did not want to discuss losing all your money at Bitmexico.

FTFY

Yeah but... Is anyone actually using btc as a main curreny yet?
I mean even without talking about the fact that my salary isn't in btc, that I can't pay my taxes in btc and so on... Who the hell would accept to use a currency where 1mBTC can buy you a 2 breads the monday, 8 the friday and 1 the next week?

As long as the price won't be stable nobody will use it as a main currency.

So relevant.

Well a lot more people would do that instead of converting back to fiat if you could easily pay your taxes, pay your mortgage, pay bills, buy houses, cars, groceries, etc. with bitcoin.

But currently (esp in the U.S.) you can't. And possibly not ever, at least in most first world countries. And in the U.S., the IRS wants to steal their share of any gains you might have.

Neo-marxists at EA attempt to put women in WW2 shooting game as front line soldiers.  99.9% of playerbase responds that it's a stupid and laughable idea.  EA responds by banning them all from forum for not being SJWs HAHA:

It can be.

At least that's the way I treated it which allowed me to have almost 95% of my money in bitcoins.

I was able to live on bitcoin in Germany where it's damned hard. If you can't live on bitcoin in the US you're not trying.
